About: As an RN and a retired military cop from a family dog-handling business, together we bring 30+ years of combined experience, launching our pet-sitting journey at Hanscom AFB, MA, in 2021. From precise health routines to full-time home care, your pets get two dedicated experts. Message us now for instant availability—we reply in under an hour! Pet care is our full-time focus! To ensure every guest receives personalized care and plenty of individual attention, we keep our boarding group small—capping care at 4 compatible pets at a time. Boarding is available 7 days a week, with flexible drop-off and pick-up arrangements. We welcome last-minute Doggy Daycare at our home, offered Monday to Friday, 6:30am-8:30pm. Drop-in visits and/or walks in your neighborhood are available Monday through Friday only between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. We offer a spacious, single-story, step-free home tailored for senior pets and dogs with mobility needs. Our setup features a fully enclosed deck and pool area opening into a securely fenced yard with natural grass. We provide structured, individual playtime, regular potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and optional supervised pool sessions to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe.
“Kate was so kind and friendly during our initial visit! I felt fully confident in her care and her timely photo updates let me know that my cat was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Nicole was very prompt and professional. She provided great care for my pup and kept me up to date on how she was doing while I was away. Highly recommend for your next sitter/walker”
“Claudia has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Milo! She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for him. She doesn’t just make sure his basic needs are met—she truly loves on him as if he were her own. Claudia pays close attention to every detail, follows all of my instructions, and always makes me feel at ease knowing Milo is in such caring hands. The best part is seeing how excited Milo gets every time he sees her. That alone tells me how much he trusts and loves her. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Your kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals mean more than you know. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter!”
“She was great with my dogs! She was always on time, took them for walks, and sent lots of updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures daily and my cat was very well taken care of. As a first timer I will definitely book her again. Thank you so much again for taking care of my boy.”
“This was our first time booking with Genesis and she didn’t disappoint. Pico seemed to really like her and everything went smoothly during her visits. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again Genesis for taking care of my baby on short notice.”
“Thank you so much to Stacey for taking such wonderful care of Fifi. Fifi is a shy tuxedo girl, and I really appreciated how gently and attentively Stacey looked after her while I was away. Stacey's thoughtful messages on Fifi's behalf were a lovely touch. I highly recommend Stacey as a cat sitter and will definitely use her services again.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kali made it just perfect! She was extremely responsive and communicative upon first contact, for meet and greet, and during each visit. She is a lovely young lady and you could tell she is very caring and great with animals...our two warmed up to her immediately. We loved getting the photos and updates at every visit. Her service made our trip away from the fur babies so much more relaxing. Thank you for everything Kali!!”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks. For example, my dog is given multi-vitamins twice daily and Shayla followed those instructions. She was flexible with her schedule: as I needed to add check-in services and accommodated my last minute requests. She showed some much love and patience towards my fur-baby during my extended trip with lots of hugs, belly rubs and play, which added the comfort my fur-baby needed. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone who is seeking someone who is truly passionate about caring for your pet, has excellent communication skills, and is extremely reliable. We look forward to booking Shayla again!!”
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
“This is the 2nd time Monika has taken care of Belle of Jasmine. She’s super reliable, communicative, and has even helped me with my last minute travel. I will be using her from now on to help with my fur babies!”
“Cheryl was amazing with our senior dog while we were out of town. She is very caring, knowledgeable, reliable, and kept us updated constantly with pictures and messages. We will be using her again!”
About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!
“Another great trip thanks to Christine! The meows love her and we love coming home to happy cats! Had a travel snafu this time and Christine was available to step in, easing the chaos of rerouted flights and leaving us with one less thing to worry about. Christine is great and we are looking forward to our next trip thanks to her!”
“Jess was amazing with our dogs and even did extra to play with our kitties. She included so many pictures of our babies it was nice to see them being so happy while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies.”

Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our 3 cats for our 8 day long vacation. Each of my cats has different responsibilities and requirements and she was able to bond with each of them and make sure they were all safe and happy. I recommend her highly and will be booking with her for our next trip!
Dana provided absolute top tier service and made the entire process completely seamless! From start to finish, Dana was attentive, highly professional, and exceptionally helpful. Communication was clear and prompt, and every detail was handled with care and genuine dedication. It is rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver such a smooth, stress-free experience. If you are looking for someone reliable, skilled, and wonderful to work with, I cannot recommend Dana highly enough!
Matthew was fantastic! He stopped by and took care of our dogs while we were were out of town for a day. He let them out, fed them, and made sure they were happy. He sent great photos and kept us updated the whole time. Super reliable and easy to work with, we’d recommend!
We CANNOT say enough good things about Maya!! Maya took great care of our pups + did me a huge favor and took out dinner from our freezer when I had forgot! 😂 We absolutely LOVE how many extra pictures she sends, and how she plays fetch with both our pups every time she comes over!! We will be recommending Maya to our friends & will be/already have booked her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Riverview on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,545 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
